StreamHush for Twitch
Never get a copyright strike on Twitch again
Twitch has handed out DMCA strikes since the 2020 wave, mutes matched audio in VODs in big silent blocks, and bans repeat infringers. The #1 trigger is the same for almost everyone: copyrighted music playing on stream. StreamHush removes exactly that trigger.
What Twitch actually does about music
Twitch scans VODs and clips for copyrighted audio and mutes matched sections — often muting your commentary along with the song. Live DMCA takedowns can strike your channel, and three strikes risks permanent loss. Background music from Spotify, games, or a browser tab is the most common cause.
Why manual muting isn't enough
By the time you notice a song started, alt-tab, and find the mixer, 15–60 seconds of copyrighted audio is already in your VOD — plenty for the scanner. A hotkey helps for songs you expect, and does nothing for the track that starts mid–team-fight.
Why StreamHush fits Twitch
- Works at the OBS layer, so it protects your Twitch stream and your VODs identically.
- Mutes the copyrighted music source in ~2 seconds — your mic and the rest of your stream keep playing.
- Optional broadcast-style delay finishes detection before audio ever leaves your machine, for zero VOD leakage.
- Full log of every track it caught, so you can prove what happened.
Twitch copyright FAQ
Will StreamHush stop my Twitch VODs from getting muted?+
It removes the cause: copyrighted music never reaches your stream or VOD because it's muted within about two seconds of starting. Enable the optional delay for zero leakage. Twitch can only mute what it hears — and it won't hear the music.
Does it work with Twitch's Soundtrack?+
Twitch Soundtrack provides rights-cleared music for live, but it doesn't protect your VODs the way you'd expect, and you may want music it doesn't carry. StreamHush works alongside any audio source so you're covered whatever you play.
Can a single DMCA strike really ban me on Twitch?+
Twitch uses a repeat-infringer policy — strikes accumulate and can lead to suspension or permanent loss. Removing music as a trigger keeps your strike count at zero, which is the only safe number.
Does it mute my microphone on Twitch?+
No. StreamHush only mutes the copyrighted music source in OBS. Your microphone, voice and the rest of your stream are never touched.
